So I’ve been told that I’m a competitive sort, which of course tends to come with the turf in my chosen field. But I also believe in giving credit where it’s due.

So kudos to Minnesota Monthly’s Dara Moskowitz Grundahl for unearthing a wonderful story on fallen businessman Tom Petters’ wine cellar and its “pedestrian innards.” Hilarious stuff.

I’m actually jealous of Grundahl for something else in that issue, wine recommendations that follow a pattern I wanted to do in the weekly Liquid Assets column but couldn’t get the space to pull off: weeknight, weekend and special-occasion wines (she uses “birthday,” but I prefer something that comes around more than once a year).

And that’s not all that the folks at the mag are up to. They’re also sponsors of a fabulous event on Aug. 9, the Fresh Taste Festival. Some great winemakers, including Shane Finley, and food purveyors will be on hand parceling out all manner of sustainable and organic and biodynamic goodies.
